Raw Paleo Truffles

After a tour at dandelion chocolate’s factory in San Francisco I felt so inspired by chocolate. Well even more inspired by chocolate and in particular Cacao beans. Seeing the process of the bean pods to the chocolate bar was amazing. So many steps and processes involved taking this beautiful plant and turning it into chocolate.

After leaving the chocolate store I thought more about how I can use cacao nibs. They are the beautiful early stage of the chocolate bar development and they are packed with goodness. I normally use cacao nibs as toppings to things, sprinkled on all things sweet or as chunks in recipes. So I got home and started to have fun with cacao nibs, I tried soaking them, making tea with them, blending them and of course just eating handfuls of them in between.

So this is one of my favorite end result from my afternoon playing with cacao nibs. These are will cover the majority of food intolerances, they are gluten-free, vegan, refined-sugar-free, nut free, raw, paleo and free from dried fruit.

They are packed full of goodness, high in Vitamin K, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Omega 3, Protein and fibre.

They are super easy to eat and just need a quick freezer visit to chill and harden. The downside of these gems is they don’t travel, they are best kept in the fridge until you want to eat them.
